1.  An antibiotic that people take every day for a couple of weeks, or

2.  An antidepressant that people take every day forever?

Boru

Almost every human takes antibiotics several times in their lives. The majority of humans never take antidepressants. So I'd say, both?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
